Flu in my house

Oh no, hope your son feels better!

I've been putting off getting the shot too so should probably do that soon.

Oh no. I was really hoping this was a think-I-have-the-flu-but-really-it's-just-a-stomach-bug posts. (Which I see a lot of on FB. Very irritating.) I am so sorry it's the real flu. That sucks. I hope you can avoid it. Good luck!

Another stupid question... Isn't flu season over? I should still get the shot if I didn't previously have it ?

Technically it goes until May although the winter months are much higher in reported cases. One of the middle schools in my area were considering closing school for a few days last week because of the crazy amount of staff and students that were testing positive.

I tested negative! So I am clearing out of the house until my son is no longer contagious. *phew*

The urgent care doc told me that he's seeing a TON of late-season flu right now.

Awesome news!! Hope your son starts feeling better. It's too nice out for him to feel poopy too.

Good to hear starbuck27! How is your son doing?

Glad you are cleared! Hope your son has a quick recovery and that a partner avoids it (I assume YH or partner is the one now responsible for caring for him?)
